Surface Forms

unisex positive

Morphology

unisex = sex (semi-transparent) = uni + sex

Formed from the combining form 'uni-' + 'sex', but the expected literal reading 'one sex' does not directly give 'suitable for both sexes', so the relation is not fully straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Unisex comes from the parts uni- ('one') and sex ('male or female'), so it suggests a single style or design for both men and women. That's why unisex means something that is suitable for both men and women.
